I read that some are done intentionally but some are not. I would like to have the point of view from people who knows a lot more about it, like you. Thanks a lot Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 02/16/2021 10:45 pm You've come to the right place. Your coin was unfortunately just damaged. You can see that some of the metal has been displace around the hole. It's very rare that a mint error could produce a hole all the way through a coin like that, although I believe it can happen occasionally (http://www.error-ref.com/alloy-erro...nclusions-3/).

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19249 Posts	Posted 02/17/2021 11:01 am Appears to be deliberate, intentional damage. Rare in that you won't find thousands of these for 1971 D, but worth only one cent. A collector of damaged, holed coins might pay a few cents for it.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5797 Posts	Posted 02/17/2021 3:28 pm Welcome to the forum and thanks for the image of both sides of the coin. IMHO, I agree with it being PSD/PMD. (Post Strike Damage/Post Mint Damage) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/17/2021 8:07 pm I have never seen a coin with a hole that was not done intentionally. Agreed, PMD. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
